Description

Round out every whole-grain diet with Purgrain White Grit from Albright's Mill — a high-calcium mineral grit fortified with micro elements and vitamins for pigeons. Birds have no teeth: every kernel of corn, pea, and milo you feed gets ground in the gizzard, and that grinding only happens when grit is on hand. White Grit does double duty, giving the gizzard the hard particle it needs while supplying the calcium hens draw on for eggshells and squab growth. Keep a cup of it free choice in the loft and your birds will take exactly what they need, every day of the year.

Key Features

  • High-calcium formula: Supports eggshell quality in breeding hens, bone strength in growing youngsters, and overall mineral balance.
  • Fortified with micro elements: Trace minerals and vitamins are added beyond plain crushed stone, so the grit contributes real nutrition.
  • Essential digestion aid: Hard grit particles let the gizzard grind whole grains thoroughly for full nutrient extraction.
  • Free-choice safe: Birds self-regulate their grit intake — keep it available at all times.
  • Pairs with every Purgrain mix: The natural companion to Racing 17%, Daily 14%, and the rest of the Sparkling Clean line.
  • Loft-size 50 lb bag: Economical for year-round free-choice feeding.

How to Use

Offer free choice in a separate cup, hopper, or grit station — never mixed into the feed. Refresh with a small amount every day or two, discarding grit that has become soiled or damp, since stale grit is the one thing birds will refuse. Expect intake to rise during breeding and the molt, when calcium demand peaks. Store the bag in a dry place; moisture is its only enemy.

Yes. Pigeons eating whole grains rely on hard grit particles in the gizzard to grind seed - without it, digestion is incomplete and birds get less from their feed. A calcium grit like this one also doubles as a mineral source.
Always offer grit free choice in its own cup or hopper, not mixed with grain. Birds take exactly what they need, and keeping it separate keeps both the grit and the feed clean.
Intake is small day to day - a pinch per bird - but rises noticeably during breeding and the molt when calcium demand peaks. A 50 lb bag lasts a typical backyard loft many months when fed free choice.
Birds refuse grit that is stale, damp, or fouled. Give a small fresh amount every day or two and discard the old - fresh grit gets eaten, stale grit just sits.
